In Esto No Tiene Nombre, acclaimed poet Denice Frohman brings the oral histories of Latina lesbian elders to life—placing herself and the audience inside their stories, to arrive at a tender and at times humorous self portrait.
The show draws upon interviews gathered for I See My Light Shining: Oral Histories of Our Elders, including recollections of first kisses, pre-Stonewall police raids, clandestine community gatherings, and histories erased. Through monologue, poetry, audio interviews, and visual projections, Frohman inhabits these stories as a way to break free from what she’s been carrying, and to find her own path forward.
Esto No Tiene Nombre is a vibrant look at Latina lesbian lives, families, and communities.
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is proud to present its official premiere from July 11–19, 2026.
